road pro mic? good or bad?

Get the real deal. The Road Pro is "cheap" (in price) for a reason.

 

I use a $10 , replacement mike for my 1995 Cobra 29, (15 watts,w/ peak/tune),Wilson antenna and good cable, and was told it's crisp,clear and strong.
those power mikes,need batteries and usually start sounding muffled ,like the adults on the Charlie Brown cartoons.lol

 

I agree go for the real deal....or if you're on a budget, the Skythumper mic is IMO just as good as a RK56 and lesser priced. Also try not to buy at truck stops if you can avoid it. I've noticed the RK56's at truck stops are overpriced.

 

If your radio has a Mic Gain do not buy a powered mic. The Mic Gain on the radio is basically the same as using a powered mic. Just get a good/decent noise cancelling mic.

 

Go with the ones that have a proven track history.... Astatic and Turner have been around for eons.

 

i just ordered a roadking 56 for my 3300, $63. total for the mic and shipping from a guy i found on ebay,his site is redmancb.com,good luck

 

if your radio has been butchered, try an astatic 636l.
if it is stock or properly tuned (not much difference) use the telex turner road king 56 if you can find one. telex sold turner to DAS back in December, so any new road kings will be made in china. Try to get your hands on the real deal for best results. I hate listening to guys who sound muffled. crystal clear is what you are shooting for.
